Question

The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is usually rough. Explain the reason.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is rough so that the bat or racquet does not slip away from the player's hands during playing.
2. Roughness is responsible for the frictional force between the handle of a bat or a badminton racquet and the hands, which is required for grasping.

Thus, a rough handle of a cricket bat or a badminton racquet is made to prevent the racket or bat from slipping out from the player's hand while playing.
